lyrics

How Long

Inside my home where loneliness grows, I keep myself thinking,
Baby oh how long, baby oh how long?
So I drink till I drop and I do drink a lot, as a matter of fact I seem to have,
Forgot, seem to have forgot,
How much since,
You ran away and stole my brain, I got derailed just went insane,
All gone, baby I'm all gone
Since you left

I was so young and you were the same, didn't believe that it would've changed,
So fast, but we changed too fast,
So when the winds of change came to carry me away from your misery,
I walked on, baby I walked on,
To where the grass was green and the flowers bloomed, the stars shined with the moon,
And you called, baby oh you called,
And you said hello through the phone, asked me how long I'd be gone and if I'd,
Moved on, baby I've moved on,
It's for the best

And you said that you wouldn't leave me,
And you said that you didn't need me,
Baby oh how long, baby oh how long?
Baby I've moved on, baby I've moved on

If I could I'd get you out of my life, but you're in my blood you're the venomous bite,
And I won't fight, baby I won't fight,
Well I held back my words 'till they came from my wounds, and I did it all for me and you,
I was wrong, baby I was wrong,

So don't run from the dark or you'll never see the sunrise, no need to apologize,
It's just time, baby it's just time,
So save your letters, save your songs, don't send them to me, I'm not the one who will,
Hold on, know I won't hold on,
It's in the past

And you said that you wouldn't leave me,
And you said that you didn't need me,
Baby oh how long, baby oh how long
Baby I've moved on, baby I've moved on
